God, no. Is this what happens when NRS/WB don't reveal characters for a few months? These 'theories/speculations' are a symptom of being starved of real info. I pray for a reveal soon, if only to inject some sense back into this sick, dying forum.

shadows made of squares, polygon border glitches, badly coded camera, 1st grade writing, low-res surface maps, no vertical syncing, skulls and heads big as torsos....


yes. Heaven made manifest.

What if Reiko was in fact Reptile's half bro...


Nah, nevermind.

Yeah someone tried pulling off the whole "What if Sindel and Kahn had Reiko" and of course they had to throw the whole "she got raped" bullshit.

The ending was made as a joke, but for some reason people keep thinking it's "cereal."


(I hate using that term, but in this instance, I think it's acceptable because it's as silly as this "what if.")

Jeez. Speculation and theories= Crucifixion.

Nah brah.

I really like Reiko, I hope he is in MKX and still slightly obsessed with Shao Kahn.

I think I remember reading somewhere that it was originally planned that Reiko would have been Kahn in disguise, but that was John Tobias's idea, and when he left, Boon decided not to go that direction, and just made Reiko....you know, some guy.

Personally, I'd like to see him return and be fleshed out a bit more.
What we know about him is this; he served as a general for Shinnok, he served as a general for Shao Kahn, and he has ties to the Brotherhood of Shadows.

I think that's the perfect set up for having Reiko serve as a double agent, working for Shinnok and the Brotherhood by infiltrating Kahn's forces, and sabotaging him from the inside, but instead developed an obsession with him, causing him to go crazy and join the Outworld forces....or something.

In all seriousness, I'm just making jokes. We all know that every thing here is not true.

Btw, NS922 doesn't know anything like the rest of us.

If Reiko is going to be in MKX, he will be himself. As for this ongoing thing that Torr is actually Shao Kahn, bullshit on that! Don't anyone dis Torr like that...how rude!

The idea of Sindel getting raped several times during her forced marriage with the Emperor isn't that far-fetched

Exactly!

Not saying I believe that theory, but I think its interesting and certainly possible.

They do have some minor similarities, Sindel has the black/white hair, Reiko also has this, in MK3 Sindel had the black lining around her eyes, if this is make up or not idk, but Reiko has these around his eyes as well, just larger and a different shape, they both also have the all white eyes, then add in Reiko's apparent Kahn fettish and you have a recipe for the Kahn raped Sindel theory.

So while I don't agree with it, I understand how some could come up with these theories.

STOP.

I've always thought the "Torr could be Shao Kahn" theory was bullshit. What if Torr is just one ugly fucker? Like seriously deformed with just his eye in tact. That's how I've always thought of him. Like Sloth from The Goonies.

While it's my fault for bringing the damn topic up... and I take full responsibility for even mentioning it (sorry folks):



Yes, please do stop.

And you wonder why people get so defensive when people start "speculating" or "theorizing." Lets get one thing clear, the writers of this company won't head in that direction, so how about from now on we stop talking about rape being a possibility in this game, shall we?



Hey you guy, he's adorable! Back off of my Sloth!

I tend to agree, but NRS has kept his face hidden for some reason. I doubt it's Shao Kahn, but the secrecy is intriguing.

People, people.

The true reason why Reiko wears Kahn's helmet is because he is president of Outworld's biggest Shao Kahn fan club.

"Welcome brother! What's today's secret code?"

"You suck!"

"Come on in! We're just starting our weekly share of Kahn fan-fiction!"

1.Kahn is Torr
It can be great, in a story mode after the end scene, where you prepare the the plot for the next game.
Torr could be the reincarnation if Kahn, who doesn't know anything of it, and gets punished and tortured for no reason. Fera saves him, becomes her slave, and he only realizes his true self (and the reason of his life-long punishment) after something major happens to him, like a soulnado or something. Or Fera tells him, at the verge of her death, because she herd the truth from raiden troughout the game (and was told not to reveal it for obvious reasons) Can make sence.

2.Reiko is Kahns son.
Why not? At least he would finally have some story in him, not just being a general in love with his emperor. Yeah kinda lame, so what? It's NRS you won't get a good story anyways.

I'd like everyone on the pro-Kahn-spawn side to think long and hard about whether or not they really want to include any sort of mention of rape in Mortal Kombat.

Yeah, who would dare to taint MK's pristine image as family entertainment.

Yeah, because rape is totally something I want to see in video games! I mean, it's not like some people are victims of it on here.. Ahem. Regretting eve more that I brought it up as a "haha look what someone did."

Lol, what was that about?




Anyway, I was just joking about the whole rape thing. Although I still find peculiar how some rate rape above graphic displays of gore, torture and murder.

I'm joking.

I myself think they left it that way because they want people to speculate on who he could be. When really, he's just some deformed guy. Or, they're simply too lazy to design a fucked up face.

Icebaby, I personally find Sloth repulsive. But if you find him adorable, more power to you.

Reiko is intresting. Reiko or Ashra id like to see return. wasnt Reiko pretending to be Shao kahn when he was not around?
